Hello scattered family and friends in Messiah! I hope you all are doing well! When I wrote: Ambassador for the King part 1 & 2 this is the general message I was aiming to get across to people. We the mispacha of Elohim DO NOT BELONG TO AMERICA or any worldly nation/kingdom. Brethren we need to "come out of her" Out of the cultural norms of America and back to the culture of HIS KINGDOM. Yes, this does include the culture of: Shabbat and Appointed Times...of keeping the Commandments and walking in love as an ambassador for Messiah. But it is so much more! As believers in Messiah we are here on ASSIGNMENT as AMBASSADORS of a kingdom and on behalf of THE KING : We are therefore {ambassadors} for Messiah, as though God were making His appeal through us. We beg you on behalf of Messiah, be reconciled to God. II Corinthians 5:20 TLV This world is not our home, this culture is NOT our culture. The kingdoms of this earth are not our kingdoms.... If you are entangled with the back and forth of highlights of this broken country or world, LET IT GO. LIFT YOUR EYES "I think the time has come that we fully follow in the footsteps of Abraham, that we leave our nation behind rather than trying to rearrange the deck-chairs on the Titanic, and really live as foreigners and strangers until we fully realize the hope of the arrival of our King and the Kingdom of God. One of the main reasons the early Christians overcame under the harshest circumstances is that in their minds and hearts they truly left their homeland and lived as strangers and pilgrims looking by faith for Kingdom of God. This is a completely different mindset than modern American Evangelical Christianity which has been merged with patriotism. “Now the LORD had said to Abram: 'Get out of your country, From your family And from your father's house, To a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed." So Abram departed as the LORD had spoken to him, ..." (Gen. 12:1-4) "'By faith' Abraham, having been called, obeyed, migrating to the place which he was expecting to receive as the inheritance. And he left not knowing where he was going. 'By faith' he lodged in the Land of promise as a foreigner, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the co-heirs of the same promise. For he was waiting for the city having foundations, whose designer and fashioner is God." (Hebrews 11:8-10) IMO, we have reached the point of no return as a nation and Christians need to brace for it. The sooner we adopt the mindset of "strangers and pilgrims" living benignly in a foreign land, the better it will be for us. And it will keep us focused on "the hope set before us." That is a hard pill to swallow for the majority of Evangelical Christians. But the road to the "Promised Land" and the Kingdom of God goes through the wilderness following in the footsteps of Abraham by faith. The first step in that path definitely involves leaving our homeland behind in our hearts and minds, (Heb. 11:8-16)." - written by retired pastor See: But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the praises of the One who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.Once you were “not a people,” but now you are “God’s people.” You were shown “no mercy,” but now you have been shown “mercy.” I Peter 2:9-12 TLV " We are a people, a priesthood, a HOLY nation, a people for God's own possession---" This is not a loose use of words it is an identity that YHWH's people are beginning to wake-up to slowly as they come back into Torah covenant and keeping His commandments. Remember whom you are and to Whom you belong. You are an AMBASSADOR, a representative for the KING and kingdom. #Riseup #ambassadorforMessiah #KingdomCulture #Kingdomovereverything #allegiancetoOne IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF THE WORLD RELATED BLOG POSTS:

Hello scattered family and friends in Messiah! I hope you all are doing well.

(my emphasis) ~~ I love when YHWH shows forth these little gems- I included part of the dictionary definition of "overflow" into the scripture for a deeper understanding.

Believers: Pride is a popular word in our culture to the point that it is now celebrated and indulged with acceptance by the larger culture.
As believers in Messiah we are here on ASSIGNMENT as AMBASSADORS of a kingdom and on behalf of the KING : We are therefore {ambassadors} for Messiah, as though God were making His appeal through us. We beg you on behalf of Messiah, be reconciled to God. II Corinthians 5:20 TLV Ambassador, N:
^ you have been sent on a mission as an AMBASSADOR and representative of the Kingdom of YHWH to this world in the Name of Messiah Yeshua, carrying His authority. This world is not our home, this culture is not our culture. The kingdoms of this earth are not our kingdoms.... Be bold and stand firm.
If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin. But now they have no excuse for their sin. JN 15:22 TLV What agreement does God’s Temple have with idols? For we are the temple of the living God—just as God said, “I will dwell in them and walk among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. Therefore, come out from among them, and be separate, says Adonai. Touch no unclean thing. Then I will take you in. I will be a father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, says Adonai-Tzva’ot.”2 Cor 6:16-18 TLV Remember whom you are and to Whom you belong. You are an AMBASSADOR, a representative for the KING and kingdom. What does scripture say about PRIDE?
In these times of confusion with men clinging to idols in a vain attempt to "become as gods," they try to re-define everything to their own preferences. The world cannot define "love" for believers. According to the world, "love is love." That is not Biblically factual. Nor is it something that set-apart, followers of Messiah can compromise on. 1) God is love. 1 JN 4:8 2) For Adonai loves those He reproves (disciplines), even as a father, the son in whom he delights Prov 3:12 Yah defines love, NOT mankind. This here is where western culture has went off the rails. Western culture aims to redefine everything as though humans are god. Western culture has fallen into a depraved form of idolatry. Western culture's idolatry problem is the worship of SELF, PRIDE, DESIRE, SEX, etc. to the point that the strict adherents to this "religion" of self are now infiltrating schools and aiming directly to lead children astray. This idolatry demands to be accepted by the idolaters. There is a whole month to celebrate the idolatry of "pride." Then Yeshua said to His disciples, “If anyone wants to follow after Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world but forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of Man is about to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then ‘He will repay everyone according to his deeds." MT 16:24-27

May you all be blessed with shalom from Abba Yah. Let us be a people of prayer and intercession...for those celebrating sin/lawlessness this month, and for our country at large. Therefore, first of all I urge that requests, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be made on behalf of all people— for kings and all who are in authority—so we may live a peaceful and quiet life in all godliness and respectfulness. This is good and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior. He desires all men to be saved and come into the knowledge of the truth. 1 Tim 2:1-3 Intercession for June: Abba, we stand in the gap for those who do not know You and seek their deliverance. May they have an encounter with the gospel, with the fire of the Ruach ha-Kodesh (Holy Spirit) that transforms them. May they be born again into new life, having repented of the old.... pour out conviction upon the land & people of rebellion. Or don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Don’t be deceived! The sexually immoral, idolaters, adulterers, those who practice homosexuality, thieves, the greedy, drunkards, slanderers, swindlers—none of these will inherit the kingdom of God. That is what some of you were—but you were washed, you were made holy, you were set right in the name of the Lord Yeshua the Messiah and by the Ruach of our God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 TLV YHWH you are a God of deliverance and redemption! Thank You, that NOTHING is impossible for You (Phil 4:13) I tell you, in the same way there will be more joy in heaven over one repenting sinner than over the ninety-nine righteous people who have no need of repentance.” Luke 15:7 TLV May there be celebrations in heaven this month as captives are set free in the Name of Yeshua into repentance and new life! We give You honor and praise. ---that at the name of Yeshua every knee should bow, in heaven and on the earth and under the earth, and every tongue profess that Yeshua the Messiah is Lord— to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:10-11 TLV In the name of Yeshua, amen. The "pride flag" is only 6 colors, as an idol mockery of YHWH. Satan does not come up with anything new. He only twists what Yah already created that is "good" and manipulates it with confusion and deception into something that is NOT good.
"What has been is what will be, and what has been done will be done again. There is nothing new under the sun." Eccl 1:9 TLV 7 is Yah's number of completion.

"They stumble because they are disobeying the word—to this they were also appointed.

Then while they speak against you as evildoers, they may—from noticing your good deeds—glorify God in the day of visitation." 1 Pet 2:9-12 For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.

Let's make June an annual intercessory prayer month! Any daily prayer is better than no prayer so do not be discouraged. If you would like to do 1 hour but it seems overwhelming break it up into four 15 minute sessions throughout the day. Use these tools to help you with scripture to pray and topics.
There are several, "churches in name" that are following the world, false shepherds etc. Praying over the church: for Ruach Ha-Kodesh revival, separation of the sheep and goats, loyalty to Yeshua Messiah, boldness, faithfulness, return to Guarding Torah, Covenant keeping, Shabbat keeping, separation from the world... etc are greatly needed. "Loved ones, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal taking place among you to test you—as though something strange were happening to you. Instead, rejoice insofar as you share in the sufferings of Messiah, so that at the revelation of His glory you may also rejoice and be glad. If you are insulted for the name of Messiah, you are fortunate, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. For let none of you suffer as a murderer or thief or evildoer or as a troublemaker. But if anyone suffers for following Messiah, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this name. For the time has come for judgment to begin with the house of God. If judgment begins with us first, what will be the end for those who disobey the Good News of God? Now, “if it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what shall become of the ungodly and the sinner?” So then, those who suffer according to God’s will—let them trust their souls to a faithful Creator while continuing to do good." 1 Peter 4:12-19 TLV The "pride flag" is only 6 colors, as an idol mockery of YHWH. Satan does not come up with anything new. He only twists what Yah already created that is "good" and manipulates it with confusion and deception into something that is NOT good.

Phil 4:13 Hello scattered family in Messiah! May you all be blessed with shalom from Abba Yah. This journey is but a brief window into the fellowship intimacy to come... This priority of Yeshua's: solitude, withdrawal, and silence is visible in the gospels. Yah, brought these verses to my attention recently - One pattern we see consistently is that Yeshua often "went away" by Himself to pray or just to be alone. In Matthew 14 here we see He even, "sent the crowds away." > After He had sent the crowds away, He went up on the hillside by Himself to pray. And when evening came, He was there alone- MT 14:23 TLV > Very early, while it was still night, Yeshua got up, left, and went away to a place in the wilderness; and there He was praying.- MK 1:35 TLV > But the news about Yeshua was spreading all the more, and many crowds were coming together to hear and to be healed of their diseases. Yet He would often slip away into the wilderness and pray. - LK 5:15-16 TLV > After Yeshua left there, He went along the Sea of Galilee. Then He went up on a mountainside and was sitting there.- MT 15:29 TLV > But after His brothers went to the Feast, He also went, not openly but secretly.- JN 7:10
Many people miss or skim over the importance in these verses. Yeshua regularly MADE time to: slip away, leave, travel alone etc and have time in solitude. Every pastor/overseer, caregiver, volunteer, and disciple of Yeshua needs to learn from His example and walk as closely to it as possible in every area of life. Yeshua invites us to join Him in solitude so we, too, can know Abba Yah in an intimate and personal way with: set apart, unhurried time to relax in His presence, read His Word, pray and rest. Shabbat is wonderful for this! But Yeshua, was found often outside of Shabbat, doing this as well.
How beautiful.... "Be still and know that I am Yah" PS 46:10 I know in my own life a time of separation has come in different ways...The effects have been felt, lived, and heard: BUT Yah is moving: Therefore, strengthen the hands that are weak and the knees that are feeble! And make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame will not be pulled out of joint but rather be healed. Pursue shalom with everyone, and the holiness without which no one will see the Lord. See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God; and see to it that no bitter root springs up and causes trouble, and by it many be defiled. Also see to it that there is no immoral or godless person—like Esau, who sold his birthright for one meal. For you know that later, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected. He found no chance for repentance, though he begged for it with tears. For you have not come to a mountain that can be touched, and to a blazing fire, and to darkness and gloom and storm, and to the blast of a shofar and a voice whose words made those who heard it beg that not another word be spoken to them. For they could not bear what was commanded: “If even an animal touches the mountain, it shall be stoned.” So terrifying was the sight that Moses said, “I am quaking with fear.” >>>But you have come to Mount Zion—to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels, a joyous gathering, and to the assembly of the firstborn who are written in a scroll in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous ones made perfect, and to Yeshua, the Mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks of something better than the blood of Abel. See to it that you do not refuse the One who is speaking! <<< For if they did not escape when they refused the One who was warning them on earth, much less will we escape if we reject the One who warns us from heaven. His voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heavens.” Now this phrase, “Yet once more,” shows the removal of those things that are shaken—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude—through this we may offer worship in a manner pleasing to God, with reverence and awe. For our God is a consuming fire. Heb 12:12-29 TLV SO I say again, "But let me be found walking in obedience to His Word; what He has spoken and revealed." If it is a journey to be traveled with few on this brief walk of life, so be it. On this journey: He may ask of me what He asks, command what He commands, and take what He takes, and bless as He blesses...but let me be found walking in obedience. We are to be led of the Ruach, and are accountable to YHWH alone, not opinions of men/women. Whether they like where He leads or not...whether they agree or not...whether they call names or not...whether they understand or not. It is irrelevant. The time is now.

Phil 4:13 Previous resources tackling a similar topic: Hello scattered friends and family in Messiah! Let's just call it how it is and prepare to make adjustments accordingly. I implore the body of Messiah to stop cowering in complacency and draw the line firmly and be willing to let go of some of our cultural comforts to do what is necessary to maintain those boundaries. Small sacrifices really in the grand history of Biblical martyrs before us. Do you not know that to whatever you yield yourselves as slaves for obedience, you are slaves to what you obey—whether to sin resulting in death, or to obedience resulting in righteousness? Rom 6:16 If I routinely follow my sinful nature (lawlessness) I am a slave to lawlessness. ( Everyone practicing sin also practices lawlessness—indeed, sin is lawlessness 1 JN 3:4) Conversely if I am obedient to YHWH I am His slave. But now, having been set free from sin and having become enslaved to God, you have your fruit resulting in holiness. And the outcome is eternal life. Rom 6:22 So then... Where is your allegiance? *to lawlessness (sin) * to YHWH (keeping His commands/Torah) There is no sitting on the fence. It is high time for ambassadors of Messiah to firmly and boldly make moves to protect your children and separate your family and church from the lawless society. It is time for the adults to push back against the forces of evil at work around us. We are in a spiritual war make no mistake. The western culture and government have worked hard to make these adjustments over several decades:
American/western culture started with convincing women to be like men, and called it "liberation." Slowly breaking down the family by upheaving the YHWH given design. Men eventually by and large conceded to a lesser role in the family and society. Divorce sky rocketed and it is well documented that fatherless homes lead to upticks in violent behavior, depression, addictions, promiscuity etc among the children. Popular cartoons, and tv shows made the message one of humor: bugs bunny cross dressing, Madea, Mrs. Doubtfire etc Televison does indeed "Tell A VISION" At that time, you walked in the way of this world, in conformity to the >>>ruler of the domain of the air—the ruler of the spirit who is now operating in the sons of disobedience.<<< Eph 2:2 Airwaves pl N: the medium of radio and television transmission Coincidence? The "ruler of the domain of the air--the ruler of the spirit who is now operating in the sons of disobedience-- > uses TV, music, radio to stroll right into your living room and home as if he owns it and start infiltrating your mind and that of your children through "Tell A vision" (television) and radio. Simply look at the subliminal messages going into cartoons and the in your face messages now in the half-time show, grammy awards etc. Satanic rituals in full view. The whisper of deception is now a roaring tide trying to sweep away those who will not conform. Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership is there between righteousness and lawlessness? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness? What harmony does Messiah have with Belial? Or what part does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? What agreement does God’s Temple have with idols? For we are the temple of the living God—just as God said, “I will dwell in them and walk among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. Therefore, come out from among them, and be separate, says Adonai. Touch no unclean thing. Then I will take you in. I will be a father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, says Adonai-Tzva’ot.” 2 Cor 6:14-18 This "agenda" is the idolatry of our age: selfish desires and pride. This is a demonic/satanic move of war. For God has not given us a spirit of timidity but of power and love and self-discipline 2 Tim 1: 7 The time of the church being complacent is over. As we teach our children: We live in America; we are NOT OF America. We are Kingdom people, Hebrew, and our culture is HIS culture...Kingdom culture. * This is not a post of condemnation on single parents or divorced parents and there are many reasons that may have happened. This is a post on the general progression and overall breaking down of the family unit promoted by the government so they can step in and have more control over the family and children. Please understand the difference. If you cannot that is unfortunate but to remain silent due to possible offence is not an option. That silence and complacency is what got us here.* YOU CAN NOW CONNECT WITH US ON FACEBOOK HERE! : (1) Pursuing the upward call | Facebook This is a public "personal blog" pg via Facebook to make it easier for readers to connect and share.

Hello scattered friends and family in Messiah! Biblical femininity is beautiful (walking in: purpose, wisdom, self-control, dignity, kindness generosity, meekness, patience, & modesty are values to be admired and character traits that build others up ) our society is determined to create confusion and tell women you are 'liberated' by trying to take over the responsibilities of men. While at the same time aiming to erase women altogether now by allowing men to claim women's roles in: life, sports etc. Diminishing the role of both men and women in the family structure, and public life. This ideology has created a vacuum of women in bondage to the expectations of a society and culture that will never be satisfied. A vacuum that always wants "more" and consistently: takes, takes, takes from those who try to conform so as not to "ruffle feathers," or offend. The message to women that you are never enough is a false narrative (ie: the social ideology that you must be everything a man is and then more is a false narrative.) We are designed to be women. We are different than men. I am a woman, I am valuable, I am a helper to my husband, I am a daughter of the King and I will walk in that femininity with: purpose, strength, and dignity that is my own. I need not run over a man and prove myself to society or anyone else. I am going to walk in my blessing AS A WOMAN . Comparison between the sexes creates an atmosphere of: strife, envy, jealousy thus causing division, conflict and divorce which has worked well at tearing down the family structure. This cultural battle of the sexes has worked well to create the bondage and confusion we see around us today where more then 50% of households have broken homes, children growing up fatherless. While government (public) schools do their best to cause confusion among children -replacing the father in many cases- while one or both parents are busy treading the tide of ever changing demands in the work place to survive financially. As a woman of Yahweh (YHWH) . I AM ENOUGH Culture doesn't dictate my value. Therefore “Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord---" II Corinthians 6:17 Ladies let us walk it out : surrender everything to Adonai, your King and Master Yeshua. It doesn't have to be this way. We can distinctly choose to walk in His ways. We can reclaim our femininity and choose to commit to decent courtship with the aim of marriage. Instead of casual dating with no end goals. We can choose to honor the YHWH given and inspired roles of men and women in marriage and family. We can choose to support our husbands in the role of : protector, and leader of the home. We can choose to come out from among them and walk as HIS people, set apart, and distinct from the mess of confusion and genderless society around us. We can choose to ensure that the next generation knows His ways, is raised in the home, educated by their parents, and knows the difference between godly and worldly. We are women. It is high time to turn the tide back to our: husband, home, and children. That will look different in each home, in each family. It is not one size fits all. That doesn't mean you cannot work. I work, I homeschool, I take online classes for medical coding as well to further my education and future job prospects. It is possible to work full-time, part-time, etc and still home educate your most valuable "mission field" (your children). You can still support a family structure where the government doesn't invade your life and dictate the roles of your household, and undermine your parental authority. It is possible to still maintain a family structure with my husband as the head of this house, I as his helpmeet, and our children flourishing under our guidance while maintaining a professional career. Likewise, you don't have to have a career at all if it does not suit you. YHWH is creative and for Him nothing is impossible. So, if you take your concerns to Him in prayer and genuinely seek His guidance. He will lead you, He will make a way. His ways are not what women need "liberation," from, contrary to what feminists claim. Liberation is needed from the American/western culture that the enemy has used to whisper lies to women.... Time for the liberation of women back to YHWH. For His ways are: just, and there is freedom in Him. Freedom from the expectations of a confused and demanding society that is never satisfied. It is beautiful on THIS side. It is whole. It is soothing, and there is rest for His people, in His ways and under His guidance. AMEN Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership is there between righteousness and lawlessness? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness? What harmony does Messiah have with Belial? Or what part does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? What agreement does God’s Temple have with idols? For we are the temple of the living God—just as God said, “I will dwell in them and walk among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. Therefore, come out from among them, and be separate, says Adonai. Touch no unclean thing. Then I will take you in. I will be a father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, says Adonai-Tzva’ot.” 2 Cor 5: 16-18 TLV As we teach our children: We live in America; we are NOT OF America. We are Kingdom people, Hebrew, and our culture is HIS culture...Kingdom culture.

Phil 4:13 Hello friends and scattered family in Messiah! Well I have seen this issue circulating in social media and it is a grave misunderstanding. What is Biblically incorrect here? "When you die. God isn't going to ask you about someone else. He won’t ask you about the two men down the street who got married. He won’t ask you about the girl who had an abortion. He won’t ask you about the atheist that lives on the corner. He won’t ask you about the woman who feels more comfortable as a man. He WILL ask you how you loved those people as he called you to do. And some of you didn’t." The world cannot define "love" for believers. According to the world, "love is love." That is not Biblically factual. Nor is it something that set-apart, followers of Messiah can compromise on. 1) God is love. 1 JN 4:8 2) For Adonai loves those He reproves (disciplines), even as a father, the son in whom he delights Prov 3:12 Yah defines love, NOT mankind. This here is where western culture has went off the rails. Western culture aims to redefine everything as though humans are god. Western culture has fallen into a depraved form of idolatry. Western culture's idolatry problem is the worship of SELF, PRIDE, DESIRE, SEX, etc. to the point that the strict adherents to this "religion" of self are now infiltrating schools and aiming directly to lead children astray. This idolatry demands to be accepted by the idolaters. There is a whole month to celebrate the idolatry of "pride." Then Yeshua said to His disciples, “If anyone wants to follow after Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world but forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of Man is about to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then ‘He will repay everyone according to his deeds." MT 16:24-27
It boils down to the definition of "love" what the world calls love and what YHWH defines as love are not the same. He gives us direct instructions to "warn the people" to repent, and return to Him. This is love- being obedient 1st to YHWH. Commandment #1, Love Yah, and the 2nd is like it- loving your neighbor. Which includes obeying YHWH by: sharing the Gospel- sharing the truth loving your neighbor both spiritually and with physical provisions. YHWH'S love must be understood within the rest of what Scripture teaches about his divine attributes.
As set-apart believers in Messiah we must STAND FIRM and REFUSE to be moved. If necessary, re-arrange your life as much as you are able to withdraw your children from government indoctrination schools to either Christian school or homeschool. Before anyone complains about the inability to homeschool let me remind you: For nothing is impossible for God. - MT 19:26 This is how WE have been able to homeschool, only by Yah's answer to our prayers. It is high time to be pro-active in response to the outside culture and follow Messiah boldly. We know that we love God’s children by this—when we love God and OBEY HIS COMMANDMENTS. For this is the LOVE of God—that we KEEP His COMMANDMENTS. And His COMMANDMENTS are NOT burdensome. 1 John 5:2-3 TLV Now a certain Torah lawyer stood up to entrap Yeshua, saying, “Teacher, what should I do to gain eternal life?” Then Yeshua said to him, “What has been written in the Torah? How do you read it?” And he replied, “You shall love Adonai your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.” Yeshua said to him, “You have answered correctly. Do this and you will live.” Luke 10:25-28 TLV
Believers that belong to Messiah: " They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world." John 17:16 TLV We, who belong to Messiah, must rise up above our culture in allegiance to our KING. We do not belong to this world or this country. "if indeed you have heard Him and were taught in Him, as the truth is in Yeshua. With respect to your former lifestyle, you are to lay aside the old self corrupted by its deceitful desires, be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new self—created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.< Ephesians 4:21-24 TLV FOR ADDITIONAL READING: Come out from among them in boldness : Pursuing the upward call of God in Messiah Yeshua- Phil 3:14 - Pursuing the upward call of God in Messiah Yeshua- Phil 3:14 #kingdomculture #AmbassadorofMessiah YOU CAN NOW CONNECT WITH US ON FACEBOOK HERE! : (1) Pursuing the upward call | Facebook This is a public "personal blog" pg via Facebook to make it easier for readers to connect and share.

Phil 4:13 Hello friends and scattered family in Messiah! I pray your Shabbat and weekend was blessed. Well, you know what is beginning to weigh heavily on my mind... Passover and Unleavened Bread (ULB) I have been verbally preparing our children for the upcoming lack of: waffles, pastries, bread, cereal etc. This is probably one of the more challenging things for me with 3 younger kids. So I thought, I am probably not the only one.... maybe a blog post on the topic and some food/meal ideas may be helpful! Well let's back up: “These are the appointed feasts of Adonai, holy convocations which you are to proclaim in their appointed season. During the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month in the evening, is Adonai’s Passover. On the fifteenth day of the same month is the Feast of Matzot to Adonai. For seven days you are to eat matzah. On the first day you are to have a holy convocation and you should do no regular work. Instead you are to present an offering made by fire to Adonai for seven days. On the seventh day is a holy convocation, when you are to do no regular work.” Lev 23:4-8 TLV It is actually reported that among you there is sexual immorality, and such immorality as is not even among the pagans—that someone has his father’s wife. And you are puffed up! Shouldn’t you have mourned instead, so that the one who did this deed might be removed from among you? For even though I am absent in body, I am present in spirit—I have already passed judgment on the one who has done this thing, as though I were present. When you are gathered together in the name of our Lord Yeshua, I am with you in spirit. With the power of our Lord Yeshua, you are to turn such a fellow over to satan for the destruction of his fleshly nature, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Yeshua. Your boasting is no good. Don’t you know that a little hametz leavens the whole batch of dough? Get rid of the old hametz,so you may be a new batch, just as you are unleavened—for Messiah, our Passover Lamb, has been sacrificed. Therefore let us celebrate the feast not with old hametz, the hametz of malice and wickedness, but with unleavened bread—the matzah of sincerity and truth. 1 Cor 5:1-8 TLV We are to remove the physical leaven from our: lives, homes, kitchens, and diet as we examine ourselves for the "leaven" of sin (lawlessness) in our: lives, actions etc. This is a great opportunity to go through your house and kitchen with your children to find and get rid of the hidden yeast (hametz), but don’t spend more time analyzing the food than the sin (lawlessness) in your own hearts. The main point will always be to get the sin (lawlessness) out of your heart. Still, this is an opportunity to really let this lesson sink in. Let’s teach this to the children and let them help you as a reminder to seek out the hidden sin (lawlessness) in their own hearts as well.
There is a plethora of ULB recipes out there in internet world and while we do use boxed ULB on occasion...our fellowship and our children really enjoy this recipe with just a hint of sweetness: 3 cups all purpose flour 2 teaspoons sea salt/ kosher salt 1.5 cups whole milk 3 eggs 2 TBLSP olive oil 4 TBLSP honey, or 2 TBLSP sugar Place all ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
